Microsoft has released GitHub Spark – a new tool in Microsoft Copilot that enables users to turn ideas into fully functional applications using just natural language.

With Spark, developers can describe an idea and generate a complete front-end and back-end app, all built and deployed automatically using Claude Sonnet 4. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, Spark also supports traditional development through visual editing tools and GitHub Copilot-powered code suggestions.

No set-up is required – Spark includes everything out of the box, from data handling and large language model (LLM) inference to hosting, deployment and GitHub integration.

Users can further enhance their applications with intelligent features powered by LLMs from OpenAI, Mea, DeepSeek, xAI and others.

Spark is available in public preview for Copilot Pro+ users with rollout to additional customers coming soon.
